NITI Aayog's Principal Economic Advisor Anna Roy has publicly urged AI developers to focus on solving real-world problems in agriculture, healthcare, and education, arguing that enterprises tackling ground-level challenges will find clearer commercial pathways. The remarks were made at the launch of India's Women in Tech Accelerator Program, which surfaces women-led AI founders through the India AI Impact Summit and a challenge titled 'AI by Her'. The initiative reflects a broader Indian government posture of pairing sectoral AI prioritisation with ecosystem-building for underrepresented founders, though no major funding announcements or procurement commitments accompanied the event.
